Why do so many people try to make Celestia and Luna be opposites in everything just because they're Sun and Moon? They obviously aren't and never were intended to be so different because otherwise they wouldn't be sisters, they'd be brother and sister like other Sun/Moon god pairs. I think it's part of a larger issue of people refusing to try and understand the characters, instead opting for simply reducing them to whatever arbitrary stereotypes and archetypes they already have in their minds.

They get along great with each other and very much help one another out when it's necessary. It's a nice pairing honestly. They joint-rule Equestria, after all!

>>28700 I don't see them as opposites except perhaps in their special powers, and how they approach governance and use of power. In those, they are not opposite in bad ways, just in ways that complement each other or make up for each others weaknesses. Otherwise, they are similar in many respects. For example, I headcanon them as approximately the same physical size. Though, somehow it makes more sense in my mind for Celestia to have larger teats.

Problem is their lack of real scenarios and characterization. Or poor characterization like the dumb vacation episode or Starlight poochie switch cutie-marks ep. S2 and beyond Luna is also a sperg.

>Why do so many people try to make Celestia and Luna be opposites in everything just because they're Sun and Moon? You kind of answered your own question. Sun vs. Moon is a really obvious contrast of opposites, so people go for the low hanging fruit and fill in the blanks and assume the sisters are supposed to be polar opposites in everything else, even though they're not.
